  What I do every day
When adults with mental or physical problems such as Alzheimer’s disease, cerebral palsy, or mental retardation need daytime supervision, they come to our facility. To keep clients busy during the day, I play card games or board games with them, take them for walks, read books, and carry on conversations. If clients need help eating, I feed them lunch and tidy them up afterward. Some clients need my help when going to the restroom. When it’s time for them to return home, I make sure they’re ready.
